Chapter 38: Self-Mastery

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, at noon, the Yu family ancestral hall.

Today is the Yu family to worship the ancestors, at the end of the afternoon, the Yu family direct line nine rooms, the outer seventeen branches all gathered here to worship the ancestors.

Yu's mother got up early in the morning, dressed up for the children, dressed neatly, and each of them was in new clothes, and then took them and Yu's father's tablet to go to the Yu family's mansion in Linhai City.

The Yu family mansion occupies nine streets in Linhai City, all of them gather to live together, the houses and buildings are arranged neatly, the Yu Mansion where the long house lives, is located in the center, covers an area of more than ten acres, and is guarded by a solid exterior wall, it is simply a small city, which can be regarded as a city within a city, which is the characteristic of the Tang family, and everyone in Linhai City is like this. In times of crisis, it is possible to provide a place of refuge for the disciples of the family's sidelines, and it is said that there is an escape passage underground that leads directly to the outside of the castle.

Yu Tianming came out to greet them and took them to the clan ancestral hall, although it was only the time and the sacrifice had not yet begun, but not everyone could enter the clan ancestral hall, and the mother and sister as women were all left outside, only Yu Zecheng entered the ancestral hall with Yu Zegong.

Yu Tianming's attitude is neither enthusiastic nor cold, under his guidance, Yu Zecheng put his father's tablet in the Yu family's enshrined spirit card group, his father's grandfather Yu Dejun has not died yet, but the brothers have already had four people enshrined here, they are all for the interests of the Yu family, died on the battlefield.

After the spirit card was placed, it was re-registered in the clan book, and the elders of the clan were in charge, and they turned to the page of the long room and wrote their father's name again.

Yu Tiangao, born in the year of Jiazi, is a smart person, and served in the disaster of Chen Guotian in the year of Ding Chen.

Just a few words, it is the life of the father, and the four words of wisdom were added to it by the mother after paying four hundred taels of silver. Yu Zecheng didn't know what to say when he saw this, and he had an indescribable feeling.

Under Yu Tiangao, the names of the eldest son Yu Zecheng and the second son Yu Zegong were added, and as for the handwriting behind the names, no one would add them until they died. My father's return to his ancestral genealogy is considered to have fulfilled his father's last wish.

Even if the matter is over by recording the genealogy, Yu Zewei wants to leave, who knows that Yu Tianming said:

"Father asked me to take you over, then you haven't seen grandpa yet. ”

After speaking, he took Yu Zecheng and Yu Zegong to the outer hall of the ancestral hall, where there were already countless Yu family disciples waiting here, some of these people were deacons of the long house, some were branch leaders, and it was Yu Zecheng's grandfather Yu Dejun who was sitting in the middle.

Yu Dejun is the current family of the Yu family, in fact, Yu Zecheng has seen him a few times in other places, but there are countless children around him, and Yu Zecheng will be seen there. You must know that Yu Dejun has three equal wives, ten concubines, twenty-one sons, and hundreds of grandchildren, where you will know Yu Zecheng, an unfilial descendant.

Entering the side hall, according to the rules, Yu Zecheng and Yu Zegong brothers knelt down and saluted, and Yu Zecheng thought to himself:

"Anyway, you are my grandfather, I worshiped you three times, and I have nothing to do with it again. ”

余德君 says:

"Is it the children of the Seventeenth Family? Grandpa has never seen you, it was Grandpa's negligence, and I came here as a gift for you. ”

After speaking, one person sent a golden rat, which is enough to weigh two or two. Yu Zecheng threw his golden rat to his younger brother casually, then took out the jade pendant and said:

"Grandpa, the first time we met, my grandson also prepared a gift for you, please smile. ”

After finishing speaking, he handed it over, and when everyone saw this crystal clear jade pendant, they immediately knew that the price was expensive, and their eyes changed when they looked at Yu Zecheng. Yu Dejun took the jade pendant and said in surprise:

"Intermediate spirit stones?"

Then he said:

"Then you come with me, I have something to say to you. ”

After speaking, Yu Dejun walked to the ancestral hall, Yu Zecheng followed behind him, and the two came to the ancestral hall, which belonged to the forbidden land, and there was no one around, Yu Dejun said:

"I know you're unhappy with me, and I don't care how you feel, your father for the sake of so-called love. The useless waste abandoned the marriage I chose for him, and our plan to unite the Li family was frustrated, so I expelled him from the door. ”

As soon as he said this, Yu Zecheng suddenly became angry and replied:

"Yes grandpa, you are the head of the Yu family, who is not a waste in your eyes, now you have power, your wife and son are filial. In fact, they all wish that you would ride away early, and when you kicked your legs that day, I am afraid that it will not be useful for a few people to really shed tears.

Although my father is a waste in your eyes, but he is a real man, a real father, although we are not rich, but very happy, I am very grateful to you, fortunately you expelled my father from this family, otherwise I don't know what I am like now, look at those cousins, it's really pathetic. ”

Yu Dejun smiled and said:

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, it's a pity that you can't wait for the day when I kick my legs, I have reached the peak level of the innate realm, and I can live for a hundred years, you are only at the intermediate level of the qi induction realm, the pseudo-spiritual root of the five elements, I think it is enough to choke when you enter the fetal breath, I can't say which of us will die first." ”

As soon as he said this, Yu Zecheng was stunned, it turned out that Yu Dejun was also an immortal cultivator, Yu Dejun continued:

"I let your brothers return to the genealogy, not for your brothers, but for your descendants, not to mention that the descendants will have spiritual roots, so that we can continue the current status of our Yu family.

Our Yu family can have this day, how many ancestors threw their heads and sprinkled their blood to get it, I could have continued to cultivate within the mountain gate, maybe now I have built a foundation. But for the sake of the Yu family, I abandoned the fairy road, and returned to the Yu family to marry a large number of wives and have children like breeding pigs, you kid is the offspring I created, without me, then there is you.

Without my care, do you think that you can work in the Black Tiger Hall at a young age and become a scholar of other people, and that Zhu Li, a master of law, will accept you as an apprentice? So train you? Without my protection, do you think that your mother can raise you safely, and no one will peep at your mother's beauty? Without my cover-up, do you think that you will be safe and sound if you kill the Chen family's pair of annihilating women without retaliation?

In fact, your father is my favorite child, he is similar to me, I named him Tiangao, just to let the sky fly and let the birds fly, and I plan to let him inherit the rest of our family business in the future.

He didn't live up to my expectations, but he abandoned his family business for a woman and the temptation to become the head of the family. In a sense, he flew freely and was not bound by the family, and I could only stick here, so I expelled him from the family, which was actually a kind of happiness for him, but unfortunately this child's fortune was too shallow and died in Chen Guo. ”

Speaking of Yu Dejun's unexpressed sadness later, Yu Zecheng suddenly had an understanding of this old man and felt the old man's love for him. It turned out that Master Zhu Li taught me so wholeheartedly, all because of my grandfather, who had been secretly protecting his family so that he could grow up.

But he didn't seem to know about killing Li Daguan and blaming others, so how did he know that he killed the silver woman?

But in any case, it is still touching to have such a relative who secretly protects himself and loves himself. Yu Zecheng stood up and knelt down, bowed sincerely, and said:

"Thank you grandpa, for your love for us over the years. ”

Then he bowed again and said:

"I prayed for my father, who always remembered you. ”

After worshipping and standing up, Yu Dejun also nodded in reply, he said:

"It's a pity that the sky is high, he also has a spiritual root, but he just doesn't want to cultivate immortals, he just doesn't listen to me, and finally dies in a foreign land, my son.

Then it will be, next year, during the Qingming Festival, the six major sects of the Xiling Alliance of Gunzhou will hold a disciple recruitment ceremony, our Yu family belongs to the outer sect of the Shuiyun Sect, and there is a disciple quota, I plan to give it to you, so that you can participate in the disciple recruitment conference of the six factions and join the sect of cultivating immortals. ”

Yu Zecheng asked hesitantly:

"The six major sects of Xiling Immortal Cultivation in Gunzhou, what are they?"

Yu Dejun replied:

"The six major sects of Xiling Immortal Cultivation include, Shuiyun Sect, Jinyanmen, Yuanzhu Sect, Yunxiu Sect, Dry Demon Spirit Sect, and Ziyumen. Some of these sects are branches of the One Hundred and Eight Sects, and some of them have also entered the ranking of the Eight Hundred Side Sects back then.

These six factions alliance controls the western part of Gunzhou, and the alliance was originally formed in the Xiling Peak of the Qilian Mountains, so it is called the Xiling Alliance. Our Tang Country, as well as Mu Country, and Chi Country, Jiang Country and Jun Country in the distance, are all the territory of the Shuiyun Sect, the Chen family, the lord of the Tang Kingdom, our Yu family, as well as the Tie family and the Shi family, can all be regarded as branches of the Shuiyun Sect. You know the power of the Water Cloud Sect. ”

Yu Zecheng was stupid for a long time when he heard this, and Yu Dejun continued:

"Every five years, the Xiling Alliance will hold an immortal ascension conference, distribute the talented seed disciples found by the six factions, and also recruit the children of the scattered cultivation and the major immortal cultivation families for testing, and the lucky ones will be selected by the six factions as inner disciples, and practice in the six factions, and the ordinary disciples will practice in the outer gate of the six factions, and the outer gate of our Shuiyun Sect is the Chishui Gate, you and Bai He are good friends, and you will definitely get his care when you get there.

Your spiritual root is the spiritual root of the five elements, and the possibility of building a foundation is extremely slim, and when you cultivate to the middle level of the fetal breath realm, you can return to the Yu family, and I will give you the position of the head of the family, so that you can enjoy a lifetime of wealth.

Tomorrow you will quit the job of the Black Tiger Hall, and I will send you to Mrs. Zhiyun in Xiaohanshan to be a scholar, although I will be a little angry, but Mrs. Zhiyun is the concubine of the head of the Yunxiu faction, and with this relationship, I will help you speak in the future, if you are wronged, you will be wronged, a man, a man, bear with it and it will pass.

Whose girl will be your wife? Shi Tianfei of the Shi family may take over the position of head of the family, just his girl, so that he can have a good relationship with the Shi family. The seventh child of the Chen family has the opportunity to be the lord of the Tang Kingdom, he only has one daughter, although he is twenty years older than you, but you can also consider it. Women, that's what it is.

When you come back tomorrow, I will teach you to learn the etiquette and family rules first, and then learn ......."

Yu Dejun began to calculate, he arranged all the future of Yu Zecheng, but this arrangement did not take into account Yu Zecheng's wishes at all, Yu Zecheng was a puppet in his place, and everything was decided by him. Yu Zecheng suddenly understood his father's choice.

Yu Zecheng suddenly said loudly:

"Grandpa, thank you for your kindness, but I won't ask for this place, and I won't do anything about the position of the head of the Yu family. I will cultivate myself, and I don't have to participate in any immortal ascension conferences. ”

Yu Dejun stopped conjecturing and said:

"Self-cultivation?ha, then you are a casual cultivator, poor grandson, you don't know the spirit stone, you don't know what to do with it, give it to me as a jade pendant, what else do you cultivate."

Look at the protective jade talisman on your chest, it's a pity that this half of the spirit stone, the carved magic circle is extremely rough, and the spirit stone has been ruined in vain.

As long as you join the six major factions, you can learn ......"

Yu Zecheng interrupted him and said:

"Grandpa, all you need is an obedient puppet, not me, a living person, I am free, I will not enter the cage, at your mercy, I live well without you, now with you, I will live better, my destiny is controlled by myself. ”

Yu Dejun was speechless for a long time, and it took a long time before he said:

"Your father seems to have said this back then, am I wrong again? Well, I don't force you, remember that your body retains the blood of our Yu family. The door of our Yu family is always open to you. ”
